Maybe Alexander Lightwood would not break his heart.

Will, meet Thammuz, a minor demon from the eighth dimension. Thammuz, meet Will, a minor Shadowhunter from-Wales, was it?””I will rip out your eyes,” hissed the creature. “I will tear the skin from your face.”...

Pardon me, but we did not have the time to exchange that kind of personal information,” Magnus said. “I could not have known! Moreover, I wish to assure both of you that I did not...

She ought to be thrilled.

You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?””A long one?

So you’re a Shadowhunter,’ Nate said. ‘De Quincey told me that you lot were monsters.”Was that before or after he tried to eat you?’ Will inquired.

I don’t know how to live in the world as a Shadowhunter without Will. I don’t think i even want to. I am still a parabatai, but my other half is gone.

Sometimes,” said Will, “they’re even supposed to blow up.

He put his arms about himself as if he were cold. “I do not know who to be without him.

You would make a very ugly woman””I would not. I would be stunning

Will had shrugged once, helplessly. He had almost wished Jem would be angry with him. It would have been easier. He’d never felt so small within himself as he did when he faced Jem’s expansive...

Someone ought to be rude to him. He’s rude enough to everyone else.

He’s my neophyte Downworlder to mock and boss around, not yours.

Do you think it’s possible to do something so bad, even if you didn’t mean to do it, that you can never come back from it? That no one can forgive you?”Luke looked at him...

The moment they met, Simon had decided that if looks matched personalities, Jon Cartwright would look like a horse’s ass. Unfortunately, there is no justice in the world, and he looked instead like a walking...

I’ll go with you,” Alec said, looking at Isabelle and Simon with suspicious eyes.”If you must,” said Isabelle with exaggerated indifference.”I should warn you we’ll be making out in the dark. Big, sloppy make-outage.”Simon looked...

No one could be that annoying without some kind of supernatural assistance.

Just because you said dragon demons were extinct—””I said mostly extinct.”Alec jabbed a finger toward him.”Mostly extinct,” he said, his voice trembling with rage, “is NOTEXTINCT ENOUGH.””I see,” said Jace. “I’ll just have them change...

He auditioned with Lily, and he and Lily had incredible chemistry that sort of blazed off the scene. I’m just sitting here watching this on my computer, and you know, he was not the only...

Moj je otac uvijek govorio da je sigurnije biti daleko od ljudi.

Mother.” Alec’s voice as he interrupted his mother was firm, implacable, and notunkind. “Father. There’s something I have to tell you.” He smiled at them. “I’m seeing someone.”Robert Lightwood looked at his son with some...

Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him, full on the mouth. Magnus, who appeared to in a state of shock, stood frozen. Several groups of people- Shadowhunters and Downworlders alike- were staring...

Henry’s breath hissed out through his teeth. That ba-bad man, he finished, with a quick glance at Cecily, who rolled her eyes.

Demon pox, oh demon poxJust how is it acquired?One must go down to the bad part of townUntil one is very tired.Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—Not the pox, you foolish...

I don’t know why I ever helped you.””You like broken things.

Looking at him now-even if she hadn’t been in love with him, that part of her that was her mother’s daugher, that loved every beautiful thing for its beauty alone, would still have wanted him.

What he needs now is to love and have that love returned.

But-” Maia, still looking at Alec and Magnus, broke off and rasied her eyebrows. Simon turned to see what she was looking at – and stared.Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him...

Wrong religion,” he said.

Every time I annoy him he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house.” Simon pointed at Jace.

If you never tell anyone the truth about yourself, eventually you start to forget. The love, the heartbreak, the joy, the despair, the things I did that were good, the things I did that were...

That’s your truck parked up by the factory isn’t it?” Magnus pointed. “It’s awfully butch for a bookseller.

I suspect he’s sweet on Sophie and doesn’t like to see her work too hard.’Tessa was glad to hear it. She’d felt awful about her reaction to Sophie’s scar, and the thought that Sophie had...

Sometimes our lives can change so fast that the change outpaces our minds and hearts.

A great sadness welled up in Magnus at the sight of him. It was human to age and die, and Jem stood outside that humanity now, outside the light that burned so brightly and so...

Jordan leaned on the counter. He felt a little like a bartender in a TV show, dispensing sage advice. “What do you owe her?””Life,” Isabelle said.Jordan blinked. This was a little beyond his bartending and...

He held her close enough to kiss, close enough to whisper the most important secrets in the world, and he spoke to her as he would have wanted some good angel to speak to his...

There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at her. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hand to...

You know what I am.” The words breathed out in an auguished whisper. “I’m part demon, Clary. Part demon. You understood that much, didn’t you?” His eyes bored into her like drills. “You saw what...

Theoretically the planet could suddenly crack in half, leaving me on one side and you on the other side, forever and tragically parted, but I’m not worried about that, either. Some things,” Jace said,

You are interfering in my business, warlock.” Magnus spat blood into his face. “You are torturing a child in my city, Shadowhunter. […] I thought we were playing a game where we said what the...

wanting what you could not have led to misery and madness

I will have you know I practiced that speech. In front of a mirror before you got here.””So what do you think it meant?””I’m not sure,” Jace admitted, “but I know I look damn good...

But isn’t that what love is, Clarissa? Ownership? ‘I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,’ as the Song of Songs goes.””No. And don’t quote the Bible at me. I don’t think you get...

There will always be those who want to tell you who you are based on your name or the blood in your veins. Do not let other people decide who you are. Decide for yourself.

Is it really love to tell someone that if it came down to picking between them and every other life on the planet, you’d pick them? Is that — I don’t know, is that a...

Just like an alley in New York -like every alley in the world, apparently- it smelled like cat pee.

He touched her face. “I may not slip,” he said, “but I fall.

I’m happy now, Clary. Doesn’t that make a difference?

Alexander!
